The Everyday Science Sourcebook

Ideas for Teaching in Elementary and Middle School

By: Lawrence F. Lowery

This sourcebook was created because science should be memorable, not memorisable. from the Introduction to The Everyday Science Sourcebook, Revised 2nd Edition Think of this unique reference book as Inspiration Central for elementary and middle school science teachers. Fully updated with content selected to build on the AAAS and National Science Education Standards, this new edition is full of hundreds of entries that can spark your thinking the next time you need to fill in a gap in your curriculum, add a fresh element to your textbook lessons, or extend and enrich hands-on activities. The Everyday Science Sourcebook is structured like an easy-to-use thesaurus. Just look up a topic in the Index, note the reference number, and then use that number to find a wealth of related activities in the Entry section. For example, looking up meteorology can lead you to notes on the Earth s temperature. From there, you'll see entries on how students can make a liquid thermometer, graph air temperatures, and measure the conversion of solar energy to heat energy. Six broad content categories provide the framework for the main body of this book, the Entry section: Inorganic matter Organic matter Energy Inference models Technology Instructional apparatus, materials, and systems The Everyday Science Sourcebook deserves a prominent spot on your bookshelf. Refer to it daily as a springboard for ideas that make science memorable.

Techniques for Teaching Thinking

By: Arthur L. Costa,Lawrence F. Lowery

Originally published in 1989 the purpose of this title was to provide information and ideas for: Staff Developers and Teacher Educators, as they consider program content to prepare teachers to teach thinking skills. Teachers, as they assess their own abilities to create classroom conditions for thinking and their readiness to implement a curriculum for developing thinking skills. Curriculum Developers, as they decide how the curriculum should be organized and sequenced according to children’s developmental levels. Administrators, as they assess and provide leadership for improving the conditions in their schools and classrooms, which allows the stimulating teaching of thinking. Although written some time ago the information is still valid today.

Light and Color

I Wonder Why

By: Lawrence F. Lowery

This book unfolds as a series of observations about light, including where it comes from, how it bounces off of people and objects, and what we mean when we say the colors of a rainbow are the colors in light. Throughout the text, informal experiments prompt young scientists to learn by doing, and impressionistic drawings bring the mysteries of light and color to life. By the book’s end, students will have a useful foundation for middle school and beyond, when they’ll learn about energy, wavelengths, and the electromagnetic spectrum. Light and Color is part of the I Wonder Why book series, written to ignite the curiosity of children in grades K–6 while encouraging them to become avid readers. These books explore the marvels of light, color, machines, sound, and other phenomena related to physical science. Included in each volume is a Parent/Teacher Handbook with coordinating activities. The I Wonder Why series is written by an award-winning science educator and published by NSTA Kids, a division of NSTA Press.

Rubber vs. Glass

I Wonder Why

By: Lawrence F. Lowery

A friendly debate leads twins Bill and Mary to compare rubber balls, rafts, and gloves with glass marbles, greenhouses, and jars, objects that at first seem very different. A field trip teaches them that both rubber and glass can bend, bounce, stretch, and even melt. This lively story introduces the concept of properties. As scientists know, properties are characteristics that help us understand the traits of substances all around us if—like Bill and Mary—we observe closely. Rubber vs. Glass is part of the I Wonder Why book series, written to ignite the curiosity of children in grades K–6 while encouraging them to become avid readers. These books explore the marvels of light, color, machines, sound, and other phenomena related to physical science. Included in each volume is a Parent/Teacher Handbook with coordinating activities.

Quiet as a Butterfly

I Wonder Why

By: Lawrence F. Lowery

“One day I listened. I listened to all the sounds I heard. I listened and I wondered.” From a clock’s ticks in the morning to a father’s snores at night, sounds are everywhere.

And sometimes, he notices, things like butterflies and wiggling worms are so quiet, he can’t hear them at all. The point of this gentle book is not to explain how your sense of hearing works; rather, it aims to sharpen your awareness of all you can hear … and all you can learn when you listen. **** Quiet as a Butterfly is part of a set about senses in the I Wonder Why book series, written to ignite the curiosity of children in grades K–3 while encouraging them to become avid readers. The books in this set explore the marvels of hearing, seeing, smelling, and related phenomena. Included in each volume is a Parent/Teacher Handbook with coordinating activities.

Up, Up in a Balloon

I Wonder Why

By: Lawrence F. Lowery

Young scientists will get both inspiration and giggles from this humorous but true tale of early experiments with flying.

In addition to introducing scientific processes and principles of flight, Up, Up in a Balloon may prompt budding inventors to try, try again—just as the Montgolfier brothers did when they launched the first hot air balloons more than 200 years ago. Up, Up in a Balloon is part of the I Wonder Why book series, written to ignite the curiosity of children in grades K–6 while encouraging them to become avid readers.
